A Wedding Reception 1 Month And A Half After The Wedding?
My fiance and I are “eloping” and not able to have the reception right away… We are getting married the weekend of May 2nd, however, we are not able to have the reception until June 13, which is about a month and a half later. I was just curious as to how to go about doing things. I’m completely clueless… Most likely, we will have a DJ. It will just be him and I (no wedding party). I’m just looking for input from people who have already gone through all this I suppose. Any help at all would be great!

I think you would be ok with it, but I wouldn’t say its a wedding reception. Its a celebration of your new life together..
Send out a ‘wedding announcement’ (either before -and say we’re eloping on… or right after you get back and have them printed, addressed, stamped and ready to go the day after you get married), and include the reception invitation at the same time.
A small wedding with the reception a short time after is becoming more common.
This is what I and my husband had thought of doing. We were gonna elope and then have a big party later. We were gonna have the reception just like we would have had a big wedding only with out the bridal party. I don’t think that is too long afterward. There is no right or wrong way to do your reception. Congratulations and good luck!
If it’s a matter of waiting 6 weeks, then why not have the wedding AND the reception at the same time? Can’t wait six silly weeks? wow.
I don’t get it unless you don’t want anyone there at your wedding, which is something else I don’t get….
“We want the ceremony private-but we still want the party (with lots guests and gifts)”…..sounds rather mercenary IMO…I would NOT Attend nor gift a wedding where I was only welcomed at the after-party and not good enough to see the couple actually marry…and many people feel the same way I do…..so good luck on your guest list.
That is Greedy and a bad Idea!
It’s fine. Just say that we are going to now have a reception after they eloped.
It’s fine, not my type of thing, but hey, if it’s YOU, then go ahead =)
